Hello Philippe,
> 1. Option -lnodes=<x>:ppn=<y> does not work well (Philippe Combes)
I am very surprised and a little worried by your observation as it would
break many applications that set their node/cpu utilisation statically.
What torque mode (cluster or time-shared) are you running the nodes in?
We use "cluster" mode and we have never observed the behaviour you
describe. (This mode means that we only ever have one job on a node at
a time. However, we have 2 and 4 cpu nodes and a 4 cpu/node job has
never been split over two 2 cpu nodes.)
I also saw in one email the -I option used, does this effect the
allocation?
Cheers
Justin
